The period of steady appreciation for the USD has ended. The greenback experienced the essential drop the end of European trading hours. The trades closed at the level of 1.4364 against the EUR and 1.6284 against the GBP. The fall was reasoned by the following reasons: crude oil appreciation as a result of the global economy growth. The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of the United States contracted 1.0 percent, better than 1.5 percent expected by the analysts. And it looks like the USD index will continue falling next few days.
The drop in GDP was the fourth straight one, the longest recession since quarterly records started in 1947. The world’s number one economy has shrunk 3.9 percent since last year’s second quarter. Yesterday`s report is the second of three estimates on Q2 growth. As more information becomes available the data will be revised again in September.
